THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL. When the strike first took place at this hotel there were employed seventy-nine waiters, and ali, or quite all, threw up their situations, By Thursday evening the steward had entirely filled his quota, and his force now numbers seventy-six men, not one being the member of any society. nue the situation was not so bad as at some of the other hotels, for with its twenty-flve hallmen, who constituted a reserve force of waiters, who were these duties in all their de- tables were kept going by men ike @ majority of ‘The proprietors state with great emphasis that no man while he is a member of the organization will be again received into the house in the capacity of waiter, and they affirm that while some little incidental troubles occur with men unacquainted with the house, the guests make no complaint ana everything goes on smoothly and well.

The M. W. JoHN W. Simons made a lengthy ex- planation, in which he remarked that since our flag had waved over Louisiana she ceased to be under French jurisdiction, and neither civilly nor Mason- ically would America submit to any divided author- ity. (Atvempts at applause.) He also said that in 1854 a Supreme Council had been established in Louisiana, which began its work at the fourth degree. This body was declared spurious. Now this has been renewed; but had the so-called juris- diction confined itself to these degrees all would be well; but they claimed to confer the first three degress of Masonry in Louisiana. It was wrong there, and If so, it was wrong here and concerned all Masons. Now we were in the same position with regard to Hamburg. She claimed to establish lodges all over tne world, and now had two lodges in New York which were not recognized by any Masonic boay in the United States, The GRAND MASTER said the matter lay in a nut- sitell, and was easily disposed of. The Grand Orient of France had geen fit to recognize a body which had invaded a sister jurisdiction. He had written on the subject a fraternal and affectionate letter to the Grand Master of the Freneh Grand Orient, Mar- shal Melhuet, but although thirty steamers had since passed between France and this country, and although there was a representation of the Grand Orient here, no notice had been taken of his com- munication. A Broruer asked that in case the resolution passed reset ae then withdrew her recognition—what en ‘The GRAND MASTER replied that then the effect of the resolution would cease. ANOTHER asked if a Mason arrived in this country who had received his Masonic light under the Grand, Orient of France, would we, a3 Masons, be pro- — strom offering him the right hand of fellow- ship? , The GRAND MASTER replied in the negative; but sald that if he still were subject to that Grand Orient he could not be recognized here, ‘Boe W. Jonn C. Coucu, of Joppa Lodge, made a lengthy speech in opposition to the resolution, 10 the course of which he said that we should exhaust all our statesmanship before resorting to a final de- claration of war. He took the ground that France differed from Hamburg inasmuch as she did not es- tablish subordinate lodges here, and also that the Grand Orient of France did not recognize this spu- rious Grand Council. If, therefore, the Grand Master of the French Orient was the same as our Grand Master—— M. W. JAMES GinsoN—He is not. ‘The Grand Orient has no power; all power 1s possessed, then, by the Grand Master. The W.
